We're defederating from newsie.social, because they're deliberately ('we don't silence 'different opinions') not moderating a transphobic user that's been reported from several instances and is actively harassing people.
We'll lift this suspension if newsie.social decide that maybe they shouldn't provide a platform for that kind of bigotry and that transphobia is not a 'difference in opinion'.

Full support to Mastodon.ART curator on the newsie.social debacle. I had the Ā«pleasureĀ» more than twenty years ago running a journalist mailinglist.
Journalists are the hardest! For several reasons. Talking Heads and so on. Privileged. No more.
In the Fediverse any lazy instance (without proper curating) will become the odd hideout for the so inclined. As always.
Big Deal? No, and Yes: When the somebody on your door is just part of a bigger deal, may be even a nobody.
